Raie

Industrial Design
Project Overview
Raie was designed out of a project brief that aimed to design for manufacturability. The goal of the project was to design a plastic product housing that contained internal features commonly used in injection molded parts. Students were to adhere to industry standard rules and guidelines for part breakup, parting line location, wall thickness and other manufacturing questions. The main tasks were to solve manufacturability issues such as designing for assembly, design for simplicity and design for disassembly.
My Contributions
Part of a 5 person design team, my role involved the research and development of the bill of materials and the manufacturing processes required for production. Following these tasks, I also built all of the 3D models for Raie's internal components.
Raie is an IoT (Internet of Things) teaching assistant that aids both children and parents by bringing everyday learning from the classroom back home. Through stimulating visuals shown on Raie’s back OLED and audible prompts, Raie can help teach simple concepts, including, arithmetic, directions, colors, shapes, and with voice command, public speaking. This aquatic learning companion helps ease the homework process and enrich the child’s learning experience through engaging interactive games generated by teacher curated lesson plans.
